Alternative to Wilwood BP-20 pads

[dude8383]

Personally I use Raceshopper.com for pretty much all my brake pads, call them up and tell them what caliper you are using and they will be able to tell you all the hawk and performance friction compounds that are available and odds are they will have the best price. Best part is that they are in Syracuse so you will get your pads the next day. Only thing is that they don't carry wilwood brand pads, which on Lee's recommendation I am using the H-compound and love them on the track.

Thats good to know! I will probably pick up a set of DTC 60's :)

I second Raceshopper.com

They are awesome and will not be beat. You'll like the DTCs for sure.

be careful with the wilwood pads you order from race shopper; they tried to tell me the 7812 pad shape doesn't exist (and actually argued with me over it) in hawk compounds and tired to sell me the 7816; same shape, just a 16mm thick pad (vs 12mm for the 7812) which would be nice if it fit but it won't unless you want to sand it down. Strangely enough I called porterfield and they had them sitting on the shelf. Needless to say I put up with the 2-3 extra days it takes for the pads to get here from CA (a point of mention I never had a problem with race shopper previously and though they were great; if you're looking for OE fitments don't hesitate to call them I'd just be leary of using them for a racing caliper shape)

I've been very happy with Wilwood's B-compound on the track. Mine last forever. Of course, an E30 with full race suspension but stock M20 is pretty easy on pads.

Raceshopper have always made things right with me, have used them for nearly ten years now.....a VERY good company

That's wierd. I've ordered street and track pads from them for superlite and dynalite. Strange they wouldn't have dynapro pads.

Thanks guys! I'll give raceshopper a shot since they are so close. I will call them though rather than place the order online.

they stock dynapro's just not the correct width for the massive kit, there's a 16mm pad and a 12mm pad in the dynapro shape; lee's kit uses the 12mm pad and when I called race shopper all they said that they could get was the 16mm which would be nice to use (more pad material for basically same $$$) but they won't fit in the narrow body dynapro caliper that lee uses.
I'd imagine the issue was do to the dynapro being the newer caliper (dynalite has been around forever) that and when I called this particular time I got someone I never spoke with before (didn't remember a name, but I almost always got edwin in the past and he's been great to deal with everytime). Hopefully they resolved the issue but this is what I ran into a month or so ago when I was shopping for pads...

Greg, I'll him a call tomorrow with a part number and see what he say's. I'd love to use a 16mm pad too :(

[dude8383]

Haha...so I called Race Shopper and the guy is completely adamant that Hawk DOES NOT produce a 12mm DTC-60 pad.

Porterfield it is then...

Wilwood does produce the H pad which is even grippier.

Hmm not bad! They're about $10-20 more than the DTC-60's though. I want to buy TWO sets so I don't want to hurt the wallet too much.

I already ordered 4 blank corrado rotors PLUS another set of rear pads. Shit is getting pricey lol. I'll see if a friend of mine can pick up the pads for less.

[Massive Lee]

Street price is lower...

Lee who makes the wilwood compounds, I heard a rumor it was raybestos? The reason I ask is that I've tried ST-41's and all they did was fall apart quickly & destroy rotors.

[Massive Lee]

Wilwood pads are made by Raybestos. But Raybestos' compounds are not necessarely the same formulation as Wilwood's. Kuzimmer, I believe, tried ST-41s as they were supposedly the same as Wilwood's H compound. Which he was proven (the hard way) it was not.
